Reviews for the HP Envy 17-cw0000ng
Source: It Pro
With the current discounts offered by HP - $390 off the price of the 4K model with the RTX 3050 GPU - taking it down to $930, the Envy 17 is very good value. It may not be a powerhouse thanks to that throttled Nvidia GPU and U-series i7 processor. Still, it can chew through even the most demanding graphics tasks faster than any machine relying on an integrated GPU. The relatively poor battery life is a serious mark against it, though. Have we been a little generous in calling it a workstation replacement? Possibly, but the expansive screen and keyboard mean it's perfect for jobs that require a large visual area and spacious interface, while the Nvidia GPU gives it a graphics capacity few other laptops costing around $1,000 can even dream of.

17.30": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
